well said
, perhaps the better comparison is the one I just read, "the Serbian Bob Cousy"
He's progressed a bit, he's not an elite defender but as I outlined, you don't have to be an elite defender. We have managed a top 10 defense three years
Pelicanidae 05-06-2024, 09:53 AMThat is precisely what I mean by ego.
Playing this way has been good to him so why change?
Perhaps because you've won 2 playoff
If you switch, center is still vitally important because that's the guy getting switched onto all the predator ball handlers. Admittedly I haven't watched
ml wave 05-06-2024, 09:45 AMProbably this is somewhat what you mean about ego but I think the answer is that BI has been much more (individually) successful than the others you mentioned.
ml wave 05-06-2024, 09:42 AMThis is the part that scares me about Trae Young.
RobertM320 05-06-2024, 07:56 AMEverything Duren makes is under 10 feet. Not sure that is a great fit. I think he would be fine as a complimentary part of a trade, but not the centerpiece.
PELICANSFAN 05-05-2024, 11:24 PMThere is no player in the NBA who has not made some really dumb plays, and that's doubly true if they're 20. Cause Duren is still only 20.
Also it's been reported a few places (or at least discussed) that Griff doesn't like Trae Young and doesn't want him on the Pels. I really liked Murray
new city champ 05-05-2024, 06:55 PMWhy is everyone so infatuated with Duren as the centerpiece of a trade for BI? I get that he is young and has potential (and I like him). However, he
PELICANSFAN 05-05-2024, 03:18 PMId rather the trade with the Pistons than the Hawks
id take Jalen Duren and a top 5 pick this year
It's not my favourite deal, but I'd prefer it for sure. Dejounte fits better positionally and I think I believe in the 3pt shooting. Not to be a dynamic
Pelicanidae 05-05-2024, 03:03 PMDo you like it better if we send BI to Hawks in a deal for Murray and Okongwu? Alt starting five is DeJounte/CJ/Trey/Zion/Onyeka. Pels could probably
new city champ 05-05-2024, 02:46 PMI wouldn't say he's the white SGA personally - I feel like Topic is way stiffer in the ankles and knees and has significantly worse lateral mobility -
Pelicanidae 05-05-2024, 10:57 AMGod, shipping out a whole heap of picks and downgrading shooting while also keeping BI makes me incredibly depressed.
Pelicanidae 05-05-2024, 10:56 AMHeard rumble tonight Pels on verge of re-signing Lou Amundson; agent Mark Bartelstein just confirmed vet F indeed headed back to New Orleans
